CHAPTER 840: CHAPTER 515: THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD CATASTROPHE (2)

"What do you want to do?"

"I..."

The black-robed man opened his mouth, fear intensifying in his eyes.

He had been tacitly permitted a portion of autonomous power, and this almost field-like world suppression was something he had never seen in anyone else.

Except, for the angel he believed in.

In an instant, his faith was almost shaken, and he subconsciously opened his mouth to argue.

The result.

Boom!!

The figure exploded, turning into a mist of blood.

Strands of black mist oozed out, drifting ethereally in the seawater.

Witnessing this scene, Chen Feng’s brow slightly furrowed in the black mist before him, perceiving an anomaly in that split second.

"An angel’s method, huh..."

The other’s self-destruction was not a means of escape but a forceful annihilation by the Evil God’s Power.

This bore some uncanny resemblance to Soul Fire.

Once a mark similar to a brand was left, the highest person needed only a thought to easily destroy the entire life of the other party.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng then looked at the pattern imprints on the surrounding reefs.

"Have you found anything?"

He asked the Star Spirit, thinking there might be similar information in her database.

"This should be a special blood sacrifice ritual."

Without hiding anything, the Star Spirit nodded.

"According to what you said earlier and the current situation here."

"This battlefield might be the key to the initiation of the ritual, and those lives lost in the war have become some sort of sacrifice."

Buzz!

As the words landed, the reef pattern in Chen Feng’s sight suddenly concealed itself.

As if worried about being destroyed by him, scarlet runes quickly manifested, converging at high speed and merging into the void.

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Chen Feng sensed the anomaly within his perception but found himself unable to stop it.

"Looks like we guessed right."

The Star Spirit spoke again in his mind, explaining based on her deduction that this might be a chain reaction from the death of the black-robed man.

Perhaps, the master behind this ritual has already noticed them.

"So, could it be that the war on Hurricane Island was orchestrated behind the scenes?"

"Or even that the culprits were people from the Evil God Church?"

Chen Feng suddenly had a conjecture flash in his mind, unbidden.

Looking around again, one after another, evil imprints disappeared in succession.

And those patterns originally engraved on the reefs lost all their spiritual nature, turning to rustling fragments that scattered, leaving no outlines.

"Did the ritual break?"

"Uncertain."

The Star Spirit shook her head, explaining by sifting through the database: "This kind of ritual is supposed to collect power, relying on special runes to store the source."

"Those scarlet marks just now must have been a transfer, abandoning this place."

From the explanation, Chen Feng pondered deeply.

He thought again about the previous Sea Eye Seal.

Feeling an inexplicable sense of urgency, he ultimately suppressed his unnecessary distractions, looking to the other direction of the reef rock body.

Beneath layers of sand and soil, hundreds of meters deep.

He vaguely saw a buried, mottled warship.

Over a hundred meters long, buried beneath the seabed strata.

The metallic coating on the ship’s surface was full of decaying yellow marks, special traces washed by time.

In an instant, without any delay.

Suppressing his previous concerns, Chen Feng looked at the Star Spirit.

"This should be it."

Upon getting a response, Chen Feng then once more looked towards the seabed.

The topmost black reef was extraordinarily solid, and no cracks were visible in the sea mud rock layer.

Buzz!

In an instant, he clenched his five fingers.

The golden-red light blossomed again at the seabed, like a setting sun, burning mountains and boiling the sea.

.....

Crash!!

The white-gray stone wings gently fluttered, skimming past another patch of white clouds.

The small stone statues scattered in various places began to enter the sky above the continent, overlooking a bustling city below.

Row after row of villas, gray-black streets.

Nobles in suits sat inside carriages, while ordinary-dressed civilians moved along the street’s edge.

It should have been a scene of tranquility, with white flocks of pigeons feeding in the distant churchyard.

But.

Coo coo!!

The white doves in the church square suddenly flapped their wings and flew away, their cooing drawing attention.

"What’s going on?"

"Don’t make a fuss, aren’t doves always like this?"

"No, don’t you feel the church has been too quiet lately? It’s been a while since we’ve seen those members of the Storm Church."

Voices of discussion arose near the gray brick square, a little girl planning to feed the doves clutched a handful of corn, instinctively looking up at the flying doves.

A hint of white grey flashed in the clouds, not very visible, hidden by the traces of the doves.

However.

Her pupils contracted, the little girl widened her eyes at the sky.

"This... this..."

She trembled, unable to speak, as someone nearby noticed the anomaly.

Gradually, people began to look up, a noblewoman sitting on a public bench also gazed in confusion.

In an instant, faces were replaced by astonishment and suspicion, more and more eyes turned to the sky.

Buzz!

The blazing sun hovering in the center was supposed to be hot and bright, illuminating the world.

But at this moment, its light dimmed, constantly darkening, as if about to be extinguished.

It was as if an invisible mouth was devouring it, inch by inch, swallowing it whole, and the entire Dead World grew darker as a result.

From midday to red sunset to nightfall...

In just a dozen breaths, the sun disappeared, and the world transformed from day to night.

Faces staring up froze in place, eyes wide open.

Emotions of surprise and shock gradually surfaced, and even an inexplicable fear began to grow in people’s hearts.

.....

Boom!!

The seabed plate of Hurricane Island trembled with a hum, a huge fissure tearing through reefs and rock layers.

Chen Feng, who had leaped several hundred meters into the depths, slowly bent his knees, as seawater surged in, trying to bury this place once more.

Buzz!

However, a martial momentum erupted violently, invisible power formed a barrier above the seabed fissure.

All seawater was blocked, the heavy pressure borne solely by Chen Feng.

"It’s a suppression-level battleship!"

The Star Spirit exclaimed in excitement, in that moment, ignoring everything else, it suddenly emerged from Chen Feng’s mind, materializing into a virtual image through magnetic field fluctuations.

Although the suppression-level battleship could not compare to the World Ark, lacking any special single-layer space within.

Its overall system modules were extremely formidable, especially in terms of armament, rivaling even a Legendary Transformed Person, and even surpassing in mass attacks.

Buzz!

In an instant, streams of electromagnetic blue light were emitted by the Star Spirit, as it attempted to scan the battleship’s condition, seeking a suitable entrance.

Seeing this, Chen Feng did not intervene further.

He cast a simple glance at the battleship’s mottled marks, and then noticed a change in the surrounding light.

"Hmm?"

His perception amplified, Chen Feng’s gaze focused, as he looked up.

The sea surface had a golden light and shadow, refracting light beams.

But now, the sea surface had turned into darkness, as if the outside world had entered night.

"Something’s wrong!"

"Isn’t it supposed to be noon now?"

The Star Spirit also sharply sensed the anomaly in the magnetic field and light, distractedly looking up, probing further.

In a moment, both employed their means.

Both showed slight changes in expression, simultaneously witnessing the dark scene outside.

"An eclipse?"

Chen Feng frowned, while simultaneously receiving shared imagery from the Holy Shield Giant.

Including six other small stone statues, the situation was similar.

Whether on the Fertile Continent, the Southern Continent, or other seas, they were all gradually losing sunlight at this moment.

The sun vanished inch by inch, and the entire world, regardless of location, fell into panic at this moment.

"It doesn’t look like an eclipse."

A heavy expression appeared on the Star Spirit’s small face, analyzing the anomaly through magnetic field fluctuations.

This was not due to any celestial change, rather, it seemed like some force was interfering with the rules, affecting the world.

The atmosphere fell silent, as the detection module deployed by the Star Spirit finally discovered a suitable entrance for the battleship.

But with this.

Neither of them acted in haste, instead they stood in place, as speculation surfaced in their minds.

"Chen Feng, I feel something bad is about to happen."

The Star Spirit suddenly said, instinctively recalling the scenes of world annihilation it had once witnessed.

Its tone was unprecedentedly low, waves of oppression continuously spread.

Even, it was visible on its small face, a melancholy and sorrow had appeared, unbeknownst to when.

In an instant, the atmosphere solidified.

Chen Feng stood silently in place, using the Holy Shield Giant’s vision, as he watched the last ray of sunlight extinguish.

The world darkened, the sun utterly disappeared.
